Perfume Information Processing Device, Perfume Information Processing System, and Perfume Conversion Table Generating Method

1. A perfume information processing device connected to a perfume emitting device that performs perfume emission by emitting a stored perfume, comprising: information receiving means for receiving, from the perfume emitting device, stored perfume information representing a plurality of perfumes stored in the perfume emitting device and emission perfume information representing a perfume that should be emitted at the perfume emitting device; judgment means for judging whether a perfume corresponding to the emission perfume information representing the perfume that should be emitted is contained among the stored perfumes by referring to correspondences between perfume information and the perfumes; first selection means for selecting, when said judgment means judges that the perfume corresponding to the emission perfume information is contained among the stored perfumes, at least one perfume corresponding to the received emission perfume information from among the perfumes represented by the received stored perfume information by referring to correspondences between emission perfume information and perfumes to be emitted; second selection means for selecting, when said judgment means judges that the perfume corresponding to the emission perfume information is not contained among the stored perfumes, a perfume having a highest point with respect to the emission perfume information from among the stored perfumes by referring to a point of each stored perfume with respect to the emission perfume information; perfume conversion table generating means for generating a perfume conversion table for converting the emission perfume information into perfume specifying information including information representing the at least one perfume selected by said first and second selection means; and perfume conversion table transmitting means for transmitting the perfume conversion table to the perfume emitting device.

2. A perfume information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the perfume specifying information further includes an emitting parameter of the selected perfume.

3. A perfume information processing device according to claim 2 , wherein the emitting parameter includes at least one of an emitting amount, emitting strength, and an emitting time.

4. A perfume information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the emission perfume information contains a sensibility perfume that expresses a perfume using a keyword in a sensibility manner.

5. A perfume information processing device according to claim 4 , wherein the sensibility perfume contains an effect perfume suggesting a subject, a background perfume providing an atmosphere, and an emotion perfume corresponding to a feeling.

6. A perfume information processing device according to claim 5 , wherein the effect perfume is defined by a layer of a nominal keyword corresponding to the perfume, and the perfume conversion table generating means converts the effect perfume into information showing a perfume, out of the perfumes held in the perfume emitting device, which corresponds to a nominal keyword on a higher layer corresponding to the effect perfume.

7. A perfume information processing device according to claim 5 , wherein the background perfume is defined by a point as to an adjectival keyword with respect to the perfume, and the perfume conversion table generating means converts the background perfume into a perfume, out of the perfumes held in the perfume emitting device, whose point as to the adjectival keyword is high.

8. A perfume information processing device according to claim 5 , wherein the emotion perfume is defined by a point as to an intransitive keyword with respect to the perfume, and the perfume conversion table generating means converts the emotion perfume into a perfume, out of the perfumes held in the perfume emitting device, whose point as to the intransitive keyword is high.

9. A perfume information processing system comprising: a perfume emitting device; and a perfume information processing device according to claim 1 .

10. A perfume information processing system according to claim 9 , wherein the perfume information processing device includes retrieval means for retrieving information showing a perfume corresponding to contents as information showing a perfume that should be emitted by the perfume emitting device.

11. A perfume information processing system according to claim 10 , wherein the contents comprise contents provided from a WEB server.

12. A perfume information processing system according to claim 10 , wherein the contents comprise contents provided from a broadcasting medium.

13. A perfume information processing system according to claim 10 , wherein the contents comprise contents provided by a recording medium.

14. A perfume conversion table generating method in a perfume information processing device, comprising the steps of: receiving, from a perfume emitting device, emission perfume information representing a perfume that should be emitted by the perfume emitting device and stored perfume information representing a plurality of perfumes stored in the perfume emitting device; judging whether a perfume corresponding to the emission perfume information representing the perfume that should be emitted is contained among the stored perfumes by referring to correspondences between perfume information and the perfumes and, when a result of the judgment is positive, selecting the perfume corresponding to the emission perfume information; selecting, when it is judged that the perfume corresponding to the emission perfume information is not contained among the stored perfumes, a perfume having a highest point with respect to the emission perfume information from among the stored perfumes by referring to a point of each stored perfume with respect to the emission perfume information; generating a conversion table where the emission perfume information and perfume specifying information including information representing the selected perfume are associated with each other; and transmitting the perfume conversion table to the perfume emitting device.

15. A perfume conversion table generating method according to claim 14 , further comprising the steps of: referring to layer relations with respect to the stored perfume information when the perfume corresponding to the emission perfume information representing the perfume that should be emitted is not contained among the stored perfumes; and selecting a perfume having a highest point with respect to the emission perfume information from among the stored perfumes when at least one perfume that is associated with perfume information on a lower layer than the emission perfume information exists among the stored perfumes.

16. A perfume conversion table generating method according to claim 14 , wherein the correspondences are defined for a material perfume stemming from an object and for a sensibility perfume where the point expresses the perfume in a sensibility manner.

17. A computer-readable storage medium on which is stored a computer-readable program to execute the method of claim 14 .
